Focus on the Future Empowering Agents of Change
DO YOU WANT TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE?
Are you worried about the pressing social, economic, environmental, political and spiritual challenges facing our world today? Then join us for our conference!
It is absolutely clear that dramatic changes in all dimensions of society (political, social, economic, and environmental) are imperative. IGE is joining this effort by hosting Focus on the Future: Empowering Agents of Change in Costa Rica, March 3 and 4, 2014. This conference will bring together change agents from around the world who want to make it a better place to live, to work and to be. They will come from different sectors and generations and bring different issues, strategies, and points of view. Join us to learn from leading change agents and from one another how to empower ourselves and others.
From presentations by successful social innovators and from participative processes, participants will identify the needs of change agents and explore strategies to increase the effectiveness of efforts and actions. You will learn about the huge numbers of change agents, around the world, who are working at local and global levels and are improving the world, one change at a time. You will also have ample opportunity for interaction with one another, learning, sharing and supporting each other.
